Permit questions and construction details answered
FAQ
Real answers to questions homeowners, builders, and architects in South Florida actually ask. Our FAQ covers the process, timeline, permit details, builder flexibility, and how we work with the seasonal constraints and setback codes that shape every project in Palmetto Bay, Coral Gables, Kendall, and surrounding communities.
Most plan sets are drawn, sealed and in your hands within a couple of weeks. We deliver complete sets that are signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer, so you can submit directly to your village with confidence. If your timeline is tighter than two weeks, we offer expedited service to meet permit windows that won’t wait.
Yes. Every plan set we deliver is signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer, which is what Miami-Dade jurisdictions and surrounding villages require for permit approval. This means your plans carry full structural and engineering authority from day one, and we handle the engineering review and sealing as part of the standard process, not as an add-on. When villages like Coral Gables or Kendall request revisions during plan review, we handle those too, and it’s included in your cost.
Yes. Your plans are yours to own and use however you choose. We do not build pools and we do not tie you to any contractor, so you can bid the job to multiple builders, hire someone you already trust, or work with a builder who won’t work on designs from outside sources. The independence is the point because it protects your interests and gives you real control over cost and timeline.
Cost depends on scope: a straightforward new pool plan set costs less than a remodel that has to work around existing structures, grading, or utilities. We quote before we draw anything, so there are no surprises. During the free site review, we discuss your project type and give you pricing based on what’s actually needed to get you through permit and ready to build.
We handle revisions and resubmittal as part of the job, not as an extra charge. Plan review in Coral Gables, Kendall, Cutler Bay, and the surrounding communities can raise specific questions about setbacks, drainage, or equipment placement, and we have worked through these jurisdictions enough times to anticipate what inspectors typically ask for. When your village requests revisions, we make them, resubmit, and follow the process through to approval without billing you separately. You are not managing the back-and-forth alone.
